NEW Facebook/Twitter Integration

[Admin]

There are two new features being added to Recreational Flying today with this first one being for all those registered users that also use Facebook and/or Twitter.

 

Recreational Flying is now completely integrated with your Facebook and/or Twitter accounts using a new feature called "Social Connect". Social Connect allows you to connect your Recreational Flying accounts to Facebook and/or Twitter.

 

By doing this, when you post a new thread, update your status or get awarded a trophy, a Tweet and/or Post can be automatically created on your Facebook timeline or Twitter feed. You will notice in many areas of the site, the little Facebook and Twitter icons which, when you use the Recreational Flying "Social Connect" feature, will change colour depending on what you have selected in your settings.

 

Here is what you can do:

 

Firstly, you can access the Social Connect settings from your settings drop down box when you hover/click your username in the top right of the site (see below) or from your Account settings:

 

 

On your settings page, you can choose which service/s you want to integrate and to what level of integration you prefer:

 

 

Once you click either the Facebook and/or Twitter Link Buttons, and provide authorisation to link your account, you have several options of how Social Connect can interact with your Recreational Flying account. You can automatically post status updates to your Facebook timeline and/or tweet to your Twitter account, you can post to your Facebook Timeline or tweet to your Twitter account a new thread that you create here at Recreational Flying, or even when you get awarded a trophy...you can choose 3 different options.

 

While performing different actions on Recreational Flying, you will see what you have selected in your settings represented by one of these icons.

 

- the normal Facebook/Twitter icons tell you that they are connected and the action will also be posted to your Facebook and/or Twitter pages.

 

- Red icons tell you that you are connected but have elected not to post this type of action to your Facebook and/or Twitter pages

 

- Grey icons mean that you are not integrated with Facebook and/or Twitter at all

 

Here's an example of a status update which will be posted to Twitter, but not to Facebook due to not having the "Post your status updates to your Timeline" option in your Social Connect settings selected:

 

 

This what Tweets and Facebook Posts look like (note these screen shots are from the person that we purchased this feature from):

 

Here's how a status update looks on Facebook and Twitter:

I hope those that have a Facebook and/or Twitter account find this great new Recreational Flying "Social Connect" feature a great tool to use here at Recreational Flying ...enjoy
